Here's an interesting problem.
I have an oracle database with name & address information which needs to be kept current.
We get data feeds from a number of different gov't sources, and need to figure out matches, and whether or not to update the db with the data, or if a new record needs to be created.
There isn't any sort of unique i...
I have the below table with the below records in it

I have an array a[i][j]. The elements are char, interpreted as subsets of the set {1,...,8} (the element k is in the subset if the k-th bit is 1). I do not think it is relevant, but every element has exactly 4 bits set.
Every row a[1][j]..a[n][j] is a collection of subsets of {1,...,8}. I need to remove duplicate rows, where two rows ar...

I am creating a script that for "merging" and deleting duplicate rows from a table. The table contains address information, and uses an integer field for storing information about the email as bit flags (column name lngValue). For example, lngValue & 1 == 1 means its the primary address.
There are instances of the same email being e...
I have a system that will generate messages sporadically, and I would like to only submit either zero or one message every 5 minutes. If no message is generated, nothing would be processed by the queue consumer. If a hundred identical messages are generated within 5 minutes I only want one of those to be consumed from the queue.

I have a table where I save all row-changes that have ever occurred. The problem is that in the beginning of the application there was a bug that made a bunch of copies of every row.
The table looks something like this:
copies
|ID |CID |DATA
| 1 | 1 | DA
| 2 | 2 | DO
| 2 | 3 | DO (copy of CID 2)
| 1 | 4 | DA (copy of CID 1)

$resultdoublon = mysql_query($doublonchecker);

I'm trying to create a select box drop down with a twist,
Basically this is an Ajax form that when an item is selected from the list it'll add it into a text field. However I also want to add a few extra selections in here.

I'm piping a program's output through some awk commands, and I'm almost where I need to be. The command thus far is:
myprogram | awk '/chk/ { if ( $12 > $13) printf("%s %d\n", $1, $12 - $13); else printf("%s %d\n", $1, $13 - $12) } ' | awk '!x[$0]++'
The last bit is a poor man's uniq, which isn't available on my target. Given the...

This Cobol question really piqued my interest because of how much effort seemed to be involved in what seems like it would be a simple task.
Some sloppy Python to remove file duplicates could be simply:
print set(open('testfile.txt').read().split('\n'))
How does removing duplicates in the same file structure as above in your langua...
